It's easy to get carried away and lose sight of just how far we've come in the smartphone world. Apple's iPhone 14 is 7.8 millimeters thick but can communicate directly with satellites, boasts photographic talents that eclipse dedicated cameras and action cams, and does so starting at just $799.

Improved low-light camera performance, Clever safety features (you hope you won't need)

Improvements feel evolutionary, eSIM may prove a headache, iPhone 13 offers much the same for $100 less

The iPhone 14 comes to market with the same launch price as the previous generation. At the same time, iPhone connoisseurs were more than disillusioned after the presentation of the new smartphone. Apple leaves large parts of the hardware unchanged and does not dare to change the design.

Top performance level despite last year's chip, Very high quality workmanship, Improved image and video quality, Excellent battery life

Hardly any innovations, Charging takes too long for 2022

A slight camera upgrade, new emergency features, and... not a whole lot else

Better selfie camera, Good battery life, Crash detection and satellite SOS are neat

It’s more like an iPhone 13S, Display is still 60Hz, eSIM transition will be easy for most but painful for some

It’s a great handset, but the improvements are so iterative that most of you will hardly notice what’s new.

Action mode offers truly superb video stabilization. eSIM makes it easy to switch phones (with other iPhones). Satellite SOS and Crash Detection add peace of mind.

Many of the specs remain the same as on the iPhone 13. Small battery gains. Photonic Engine isn’t as revolutionary as suggested.

Slightly better cameras but otherwise, not much of an update - buy the iPhone 14 Pro or switch to Android instead

Better low-light photography, Slightly longer battery life, Action mode gives super stabilised video

The same performance as the iPhone 13, No Dynamic Island or Always-On display, 60Hz screen

The Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G ($749.99) is a new entry in Sony's lineup that supplements one of the longest-running E-mount lenses, the $900 E 10-18mm F4 zoom from a decade ago. The E 10-20mm boasts new optics and a more modern polycarbonate barrel with a dust- and splash-resistant construction. It also features Power Zoom handling for vlogs and videos. The new lens is a good match for the slim ZV-E10 and an excellent choice if you often present directly to a camera, though we continue to recommend the slightly pricier Tamron 11-20mm F2.8 ($829) for photographers.Made for Hybrid Creators The decade since the release of the E 10-18mm F4 OSS has been eventful for Sony's camera system. The company has released many full-frame FE lenses and cameras, plus it developed exotic optical elements and speedy linear focus motors. The E PZ 10-20mm F4 G incorporates many of these innovations to meet its slim 2.4-by-2.4-inch (HD) and 6.2-ounce design. It doesn't make any optical concessions either;...

The Sony E PZ 10-20mm F4 G is a slim, video-first power zoom lens for crop-sensor E-mount mirrorless cameras, but a lack of stabilization means vloggers likely need to add a gimbal to their setup.

Slim, light build ideal for use on gimbals; Power zoom control for video; Dust- and moisture-resistant construction; Quick, quiet linear autofocus; Minimal focus breathing

Omits optical stabilization; No on-lens aperture control; Some ghosting against strong backlight; Mushy sunstars

When it comes to resolution the Sony PZ E 10-20 mm f/4 G didn't have any weak points in our test. It fared very well in the centre and decently well on the edges. Even the maximum relative aperture is corrected so well that we didn't have any objections.

shapely, compact, weather-sealed barrel that doesn't change its dimensions,, very good image quality in the frame centre,, good image quality on the edge of the frame,, practically zero longitudinal chromatic aberration,, slight lateral chromatic aberration,, moderate astigmatism,, sensible...

high vignetting,, huge distortion on RAW files.

Hannah Stryker / Review Geek The iPhone 14 is the latest iteration of Apple’s flagship device. Since its launch, the iPhone has set the standard of what a smartphone is, what it does, and how it looks. Fifteen years later, it’s still doing that.

Top-notch cameras, Amazing display, Snappy performance, Great battery life

It's just "this year's iPhone"
